OpenAI Releases Advanced Voice Mode for ChatGPT with Function Calling and Steerable Audio Output

Oct 1, 2024, 06:37 PM

OpenAI has released a new 'advanced voice mode' for its ChatGPT, allowing the chatbot to respond in a more natural, human-like manner. This feature is being made available to outside developers, enabling them to integrate AI assistants capable of making calls and navigating complex software through natural conversation. The speech-to-speech engine powering this advanced voice mode is also accessible to other developers. Additionally, OpenAI has rolled out this feature to all users globally, except in the EU, and free users can also try the new model. The API includes function calling and the audio output is steerable, which has significant implications for text-to-speech applications.
